Well, I couldn't weigh in at SW last week thanks to my gallbladder op on the 16th, so I arranged to go to today's Monday afternoon class (being off sick from work means I can get to that class - carefully - for a couple of weeks).
I staggered into the room ahead of class and daintily lowered myself onto a chair whilst the group leader was still setting up. As a result I was first to weigh in. Wasn't sure what to expect so went with an open mind but hoping I'd not gained.
I've only gone and lost 2lbs since my last weigh in 10 days ago! That means since 1st Sept I've lost - drum roll please everyone! - a grand total of 1 stone 13.5 lbs.
I'm hoping next week to achieve my 2 stone loss award. Once I've got to that point, it'll be time to start chipping away at the next stone.
I got home grinning all over my face. I was shattered though so celebrated by putting my feet back up on the sofa with not just one mug of tea but two. Talk about pushing the boat out!
So the next week starts here.

Sorry I'm late onto this but well done again! What I want to know is how much does a gall bladder weighIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Thank you so much for your kind comments and encouragement.
I'm delighted to say that when I weighed in today not only have I achieved my 2 stone weight loss but I've gone past it. I've lost two and a half pounds this last week so my total weight loss is now 2 stones and 2lbs. :!:
I am delighted with this, especially bearing in mind that the last two weeks I've lost a total of 4.5lbs and have been post-op at the same time.
What is my next goal you ask? Yes, you've guessed it! I'd like to get to my two and a half stone loss.
Thanks again.
